Ohio Attorney General Sues Another Charter School

http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080118/NEWS01/301180052

Claiming Harmony Community School has a record of academic failure, financial mismanagement, ethical lapses, and consumer fraud, Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann filed a lawsuit last week seeking to shut it down. The lawsuit is the fourth that Dann has filed seeking the closure of charter schools in the state. In a prepared statement, the executive director of the school, Deland McCullough, said, "He is attempting to replace the judgment of the Ohio General Assembly and the Ohio Department of Education with his own judgment, instead of allowing the legal and regulatory process to take place for Harmony's children."
